Peaceful, rural family holiday

The Gite is located in a very quiet hamlet with amazing views over fields of sweetcorn. There is no light or noise pollution at all! A perfect spot to get away from it all. Well equipped gite offering a quiet stay. Bedding provided, lots of local information in the drawer. Some great day visits to the north coast with amazing villages along the way. The barn also has some childrens outside play equip, but we didn't use these.

Charmant séjour !

Nous avons beaucoup aimé ce Penty, plein de charme, avec cette touche anglaise. Penty très fonctionnel avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bons moments très cocooning, bien situé dans les monts d'Arrée, à voir à 4 km la vallée des saints, mais aussi saint Michel de Braspart à voir absolument et Hulegoat bien sûr et tant d'autre.

Charmante maison dans la campagne bretonne

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette charmante maison. Les environs sont très calmes et reposants, avec de jolis paysages de campagne. La maison n'était pas parfaitement propre mais contenait toutes les commodités nécessaires. Des CDs, jeux de société, cassettes et livres sont à disposition des visiteurs, ce qui est appréciable.

Eine enttäuschende Unterkunft

Als wir ankamen und das Haus von außen sagen, waren wir sehr begeistert. Das änderte sich sehr schnell, als wir das Haus von innen sahen. Es war sehr dreckig. Alles hat geklebt und war sehr schmuddelig. Die Böden, die Tische, die Sitzgelegenheiten, das Geschirr, das Besteck, alles war unbenutzbar. Die Betten sind durchgelegen, alles im Haus ist feucht und klamm und es wimmelt von Schnecken im Haus. Leider kam uns der Vermieter auf Anfrage nicht entgegen und hatte keinerlei Verständnis für unsere Beschwerde. Wir haben vorzeitig abgebrochen, da wir uns so unwohl gefühlt haben und eine andere Unterkunft gesucht.

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your holiday in our house at Trevenec. We know that the weather was very disappointing and I was interested to see the report in Le Telegramme daily news feed that quite a few holidaymakers in Brittany had decided to cut short their holidays on account of the weather - see https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm&ogbl#inbox/FMfcgzGtwMgkgRFVrxzFFlZSKdzWnRhSUnfortunately the weather is something over which we have no control! However, we do not accept that the house furniture is old and broken down or that the house is dirty. We were there just two weeks before you arrived and the house was clean and tidy when we left. There were no other guests before you and we know that our cleaners always leave the house clean and tidy when they go in to prepare the house for our guests. My wife had removed and washed all the crockery and cutlery during our visit and all the surfaces were wiped clean, The beds are not damp or damaged and we have never seen a snail in the house!! The house is about 200 years old and has been well refurbished but is of a particular character known as a longere. The furniture is in good repair and has been chosen to be appropriate to the character of the property and items have been regularly replaced as needed in our time as owners and the photos of the interior on the website show quite clearly what it is like. The living room and upstairs bedroom were re-decorated last year, the velux windows and blinds, the back door and the large downstairs alcove window replaced also and a new patio sunshade purchased. The electric heaters have nearly all been replaced. We have never set out or advertised the house as an ultra-modern luxury apartment, but as a comfortable, well-equipped house with a good-sized garden to use as a base to visit a lovely part of France, where there are lots of interesting places to visit, wonderful beaches and warm seas. I tried to advertise the week you decided not to stay but it was not possible to re-let the house at short notice. Since your visit we have had other guests whose views of the house have been much more favourable and we do monitor the cleaning of the house to ensure that it is ready for our guests.

Déception

Nous sommes arrivés à 16h comme prévu et n'avions pas d'instructions d'arrivée. Nous avions 2 numéros à joindre pour lesquels nous avions un message " pas d'abonnement pour votre contact". Nous réussissons à joindre le propriétaire en Angleterre qui nous indique où se trouve la clé. Nous entrons et nous prenons de nombreuses toiles d'araignées. Nous commençons par faire du ménage car les placards où se trouvent la vaisselle sont également remplis de toiles. Nous constatons une fuite d'eau dans la cuisine où se trouve une bassine debordante. Le propriétaire nous facture un supplément pour avoir dépanné 2 proches qui ont eu un imprévu. Nous n'avons pas tenté de dissimuler leur présence. Nous espérions un meilleur contact et plus de compréhension.

Il est très inhabituel d'avoir des invités qui ne respectent pas les règles de location de notre maison de vacances. A cette occasion, deux personnes supplémentaires ont été invitées par nos hôtes à les rejoindre à la maison sans notre permission ; nos boîtes privées de linge et de serviettes ont été ouvertes et saccagées pour trouver des draps et des serviettes supplémentaires et il a été nécessaire de retenir la caution afin de couvrir les coûts supplémentaires de notre équipe de nettoyage, qui prépare la maison très soigneusement afin qu'elle soit propre et prête pour chaque nouveau groupe Nos hôtes de la semaine suivante, qui étaient également français, ont rapporté avec indignation qu'il n'y avait aucun signe d'araignées et qu'ils ont trouvé la maison extrêmement propre et bien rangée et ont beaucoup apprécié leur séjour. Tous les invités reçoivent des instructions complètes pour s'inscrire, y compris la façon d'accéder à la maison. It is very unusual to have guests who do not respect the rules for renting our holiday home. On this occasion two additional people were invited by our guests to join them at the house without our permission; our private linen and towels boxes were opened and ransacked for additional bedding and towels and it was necessary to retain the deposit in order to cover the additional costs of our cleaning team, who prepare the house very carefully so it is clean and ready for each new group Our guests for the following week, who were also French, reported indignantly that there was no sign of spiders and that they found the house extremely clean and tidy and greatly enjoyed their stay. All guests are sent full joining instructions including how to get access to the house.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
We purchased this lovely property in 2008 after we first saw it and fell in love with it. As retired teachers we want to share the house with others and let them get to know the wonderful countryside and coasts of Brittany

Why they chose this property

We are in the countryside but not isolated, have a lovely outlook across to fields and woodlands; at night the skies are dark, free of light pollution. Just down the road is the village of Carnoet, and not far away from the towns of Callac and Carhaix with excellent hypermarkets and restaurants. There is a great choice of sandy beaches in lovely settings on the north coast, an attractive drive along quiet roads to the area around Locquirec, and further afield the beaches of the west coast, one of which is a ten mile stretch of sand, and the south coast near Concarneau are about an hour's drive.

What makes this property unique

Comfort, peace, relaxation - a home from home in wonderful countryside close to one of the most remarkable tourist locations in France, the Valley of the Saints, which last year had over 400,000 visitors, yet remains an idyllic atmospheric hilltop with over 100 giant granite statues in Eurpoe's answer to Easter Island, and views far into the distance in every direction. Our visitors love the level of equipment and forethought in catering for their needs, from the fully equipped kitchen to the hairdryer, games for children and adults, garden hammock, barbecue, sun umbrella, and French and English television services.
